The Sergeants Benevolent Association has deemed it appropriate to start a GoFundMe account for a New York City police sergeant who has been charged with murder in the death of an elderly, mentally ill woman from New York’s Bronx borough.

A police officer shot and killed a mentally ill 66-year-old black woman in her Bronx, N.Y., apartment Tuesday night. The incident calls into question the New York City Police Department's use of force and the protocol that should be followed when dealing with "emotionally disturbed" people, The Atlantic reports.
